Preface

This guide describes Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) and

what you do to start and customize RADIUS services on a Nortel Networks

™

router.

You can use the Bay Command Console (BCC

™

) or Site Manager to configure

RADIUS on a router. In this guide, you will find instructions for using both the

BCC and Site Manager.

Before You Begin

Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedures. For a new

router:

• Install the router (see the installation guide that came with your router).

• Connect the router to the network and create a pilot configuration file (see

Quick-Starting Routers, Configuring BayStack Remote Access, or Connecting

ASN Routers to a Network).

Make sure that you are running the latest version of Nortel Networks BayRS

™

and

Site Manager software. For information about upgrading BayRS and Site

Manager, see the upgrading guide for your version of BayRS.

RADIUS Overview

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) enables Internet service

providers (ISPs) to offer more remote access services to their customers. Remote

access is one of the fastest growing segments of the networking industry. Users in

branch offices, sales people in the field, and telecommuters are just a few of the

people who rely on remote access to do their jobs.

This chapter provides a conceptual overview of RADIUS, and explains how

Nortel Networks implements it. This chapter covers the following topics:

How RADIUS Works

As networks grow to accommodate more users, network security and billing

become more difficult to manage. RADIUS centralizes security and controls

billing services. RADIUS thus not only improves security but also adapts to the

ever-increasing volume and needs of remote users and service providers.

A RADIUS application has two components, the RADIUS server and the

RADIUS client.

The RADIUS server is a computer equipped with server software (for example, a

UNIX workstation) that is located at a central office or campus. It has

authentication and access information in a form that is compatible with the client.

A network can have one server for both authentication and accounting, or one

server for each service.

The RADIUS client can be a router or a remote access server that is equipped with

client software and that typically resides on the same local area network (LAN)

segment as the server. The client is the network access point between the remote

users and the server.

RADIUS authentication lets you identify remote users before you give them

access to a central network site. RADIUS accounting enables the server to collect

data during a remote user’s dial-in session with the client. The server can then

determine billing charges.

Configuring RADIUS

To configure the RADIUS server and client, follow these steps:

Install the RADIUS server files. These files load at server startup and enable

the server to recognize the vendor-specific RADIUS clients.

• For Nortel Networks servers, copy the bayrs.dct, vendor.ini, and

dictiona.dcm files from the distribution CD to the directory you define at

installation time (usually C:\RADIUS\Services). For more information,

see Appendix D, “Vendor-Specific Attributes

” and the BaySecure Access

Control Administration Guide for your platform (UNIX, NetWare, or

NT).

• For non-Nortel servers, use the bayrs.dct file shown in Appendix D

modify your existing RADIUS dictionary. Because the bayrs.dct file is in

the format of some popular RADIUS servers, you may be able to use it as

a direct replacement for the existing RADIUS dictionary. For more

information, refer to the vendor-specific server documentation.

Configure the user-specific information in the RADIUS server database. For

more information, refer to the vendor-specific documentation.

Configure the BayRS RADIUS client using either Site Manager or the BCC.

For more information, see Chapters 2 through 4.

Define the RADIUS slots and services to be provided (authentication,

accounting, or both).

Configure the primary and secondary RADIUS servers.

Configure RADIUS-enabled applications (dial services, HTTP, FTP, NTP,

Telnet).
